Chapter 80: Coming to the South Gate Again

Listening to Battle gritting his back molars, telling the reason with an unhappy face, and all kinds of difficulties and contempt in the process of communication, Normer clearly felt the helplessness, sadness and resentment of the other party, and was about to comfort his stout companion, when a strange question suddenly came to mind, so the young man asked very frankly: "I am also a man, why would their dignified Marquis de Ryder's family allow me to stand by the carriage of her eldest daughter, and escort the whole journey?

"Obviously, because you're not a real man yet!"

Listening to the young man's question, Battle said solemnly, deeply patting the young man's shoulder, and the frowning brow undoubtedly showed that he was responsible for everything he said. It's a pity that as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back his face and laughed evilly, and even let go of his originally depressed expression a lot.

“...... You're not a man!"

Stunned to look at the thick back of the "Sparrow" as it walked away, Normer was stunned for a moment before he tasted the strong evil intent implied in his words, and scolded as he looked at the dust raised by Battlema's buttocks.

Chenxi beside him had already been holding back a smile, and when he saw that the deflated young man finally understood, he fought back consciously, and finally couldn't help laughing, laughing so hard that his pretty face was pink, and he was obviously overjoyed.

Not only did the girl not have the slightest consciousness and righteousness to stick a knife in her good brother's ribs, but even the old butler, who was a few stalls behind Normer, smiled and was quite satisfied that the boy was so "bullied".

Anyway, the young master is seventeen years old this year, and he wants to change to an ordinary aristocratic family, let alone get married, this child is about to be able to play soy sauce. Isn't it time to think about it, so that the young master can get rid of the seemingly glorious but embarrassing title of "virgin" as soon as possible and officially enter the ranks of men?

The place where the Marquis Ryder's family lived was still some distance from the south gate of Manchester City, and the selected "handsome" mercenaries, plus the people from the Marquis's Palace, etc., there were more than 200 people who could be seen alone, and there were more than the number of pack horses and other livestock in the group, and the mighty brigade attracted a large number of onlookers, standing on both sides of the road and pointing, and there were many discussions, which inevitably caused congestion, and as a result, the convoy dragged on for more than two quarters of an hour before coming to the south gate.

During this period, Captain Kevin and the backbone of the regiment were quite nervous, and they were on high alert throughout the whole process, and those who were a little less experienced were all sweating.

First, the composition of the team is complex, the personnel of all parties are not really familiar with each other, let alone running-in, not much worse than the rabble, once a battle occurs, they must interfere with each other, and they can only rely on the original members of the mercenary group to organize defense, and the overall combat power is far weaker than on paper;

Second, in such densely populated places, the entire convoy is lined up in a long line, which can take care of the beginning and the tail, and is the most suitable for secret sneak attacks, and any danger will lead to a full of holes in the defense line, and then evolve into a collapse.

In particular, the guards of the Marquis's Mansion, looking at the tall horses, the fresh clothes and angry horses, the standard robes of the Marquis's Mansion, the straight waist, and the unattainable expression, all show a pair of masters, masters, and masters, but in fact, they are strong in the outside, good-looking and useless, and the straw bales in the straw bales, once they see the blood, they may immediately panic and panic, and they are in a hurry, I hope that when there is a battle, they will not drag their own people back.

In the crowd, I don't even know where to look with my eyes, and I dare to be a guard, the standard "silver-like pewter gun head - soft egg"!

Contempt is contempt, this is the unified understanding of the mercenary group on the guards of the Marquis's Palace.

The "black lion" mercenary walking on the periphery is completely different, looking at the gray face, except for a jacket embroidered with the black lion logo on the outside, there is everything he wears, the color is dark, the edges are curled, even in autumn can not cover up the heavy smell of sweat, I don't know how long it has not been washed.

The formation was loose, and he didn't say anything about it casually, and his eyes were still looking at the women in the crowd, and he didn't look like a reliable master no matter how he looked at it.

Authentic hooligans, changing clothes are like fake bandits, all of them look unruly birds, if there are really thieves attacking, they will not be able to protect themselves, they will turn against the enemy, not only can not trust them, but must always be distracted to be on guard, tired or not!

Among the people, I don't even understand the common sense of holding the handle of the knife, and I dare to be a mercenary, a typical "pig nose with green onions - pretending to be an elephant"!

Slander is slander, this is the unanimous opinion of the guards of the Marquis's Mansion on the mercenary group.

Fortunately, the potential enemy did not want to attack in the city, and they disliked each other and finally arrived at the gate of the city safely, Kevin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he arrived in the wilderness outside the city, his vision was wide and clear at a glance, which was more conducive to the defense of the mercenary group.

Looking at the several people standing above the South Gate Tower, Chenxi wanted to laugh very much, she was in a pretty good mood, she was eager to know, those pampered royal capital nobles, young masters, young ladies and young ladies who were used to pampering, helplessly guarded the city to blow the northwest wind, eating the unique wind and sand of the border land for so long, can they still maintain the elegant posture that the high-class nobles should have, the landslide and tsunami do not change color, and reflect the unique style of superiority?

Well, it's really hard for others to say, that heroic Miss Sophie, who has a pair of long legs, will definitely not be willing to lose the elegant demeanor of Miss Wang Dugui in front of the vulgar border people, right?

Sophie at the head of the city sneezed and muttered and wiped her nose with a handkerchief, this damn place, it's not winter yet, the wind and sand are so strong, especially the all-pervasive northwest wind, almost numb everyone. She didn't expect that in the team not far away, there was a charming girl who was thinking about her and talking about her.

A flagpole with a length of more than three meters stands prominently at the front of the procession, and the image of the black lion embroidered on the flag is clearly visible in the strong northwest wind. As soon as he saw this fierce and hideous black lion, a city guard officer standing two meters away next to Sophie blurted out: "Oh, it's actually the Black Lion Mercenary Group." I don't know which of the shops in the city invited them. ”

Sophie glanced at the officer disdainfully and asked lazily, "Oh, it seems that this so-called Black Lion Mercenary Regiment seems to be quite famous among you?"

The words are not too excessive, but the tone at the end of the sentence is high above the clouds, and the tone of contempt is undisguised, which really reflects the arrogance and prejudice of the high-class nobles.

Unexpectedly, the officer of the city guard didn't care, and replied with a rather cultivated smile: "Ah, that's the case, Miss Sophie. This Black Lion Mercenary Group is one of the three strongest mercenary groups within a radius of 100 miles, and its leader Kevin is said to have the strength of level 6 or above, and it is also rumored that he has broken through the level 7 barrier a few days ago. ”

"You also know that our Manchester City is a small city on the border, and all the people who live here all day long are some bitter people who are not on the stage, and they have never seen much of the world, and the middle-level soldiers of the sixth or seventh level are considered to be great powerhouses in the eyes of those of us who have low status and lack of potential. It's not as good as a big nobleman from the royal capital like you, with first-class talent, great family help, and middle-level strength at a young age, and his future achievements are immeasurable, and sooner or later he will become an existence that we need to look up to. ”

The officer said flattering words again and again, and his posture was very low, so that Sophie was very comfortable to hear it, and she nodded again and again, and it was rare that her tone softened, and said, "So that's the case." It's no wonder that you take a high look, if the head of the regiment really has the strength of the seventh level, he can be regarded as a good man. ”

After saying that, Sophie thought about it, no, this officer only cares about praising his talent and family power, is he secretly ironing that he is all relying on his extraordinary background and does not need to work hard to achieve today's achievements?

Just as she was about to ask about this, Sophie suddenly saw that among the slowly approaching procession, a flagpole planted on the top of the carriage was very eye-catching, and a blooming violet was embroidered on the flag fluttering in the wind!

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Ryder's house. Sophie was surprised, "When did their family come here, why don't we know at all?"

In the Kingdom of Biznes, violet was the family coat of arms of the Marquis of Ryder's family. As a powerful traditional political family in the royal capital, the Marquis of Ryder has been passed down for more than ten generations, and has not retained the title of marquis, which means that their family has produced many talents, and they have been descendants for generations to make meritorious contributions to the royal state, so they can always keep the title of marquis.

For example, their Renault family, the original head of the family was awarded the title of earl, affected by various failures including the defeat of the wrong party, the worst time was reduced to the position of a baron, mixed very unbearable, the difficult situation was not changed until two generations ago, when there was a very talented family master in martial arts, and was fortunate to make great contributions in the war with neighboring countries, the family was able to accumulate merit and become a knight, and returned to the title of earl.

But that's all, decades have passed, and the Renault family can no longer go further on the title, and the marquis's glorious seat is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey's head, looking not far away, but it can't be eaten.

It can be seen that after ten generations, the Marquis de Ryder family, which can still maintain its reputation and still have the title, can definitely be regarded as a veteran family with profound heritage. In front of the Ryder family, the Renault family can only be regarded as a vulgar outburst, and the gap between the two is not a little bit, no wonder Sophie is so surprised by the appearance of the other party.

"Let's go down and have a look, and at least say hello in person. Pierre said.

Today, Johnson Renault slightly adjusted the candidates for the defense, he was sent to the south gate to support, Shicai has been standing silently on the city tower, silently watching the endless flow of people coming in and out below, at this moment seeing that his cousin was only surprised, but he didn't react like a chicken, so he couldn't help but remind.

Hearing her brother's words, Sophie was thrilled and finally reacted, so she hurriedly followed Pierre down the tower.

They are all people in the aristocratic circle, and multiple friends may have one less enemy, but multiple enemies are definitely not just one more enemy, but an entire faction of enemies!

As a family that has suffered a big loss in the party struggle, the family members of Renault's side at this moment, since they have seen the banner and family crest of the Ryder family, they must express that even if they have official business, they should take the initiative to come forward to talk and say hello to the elders in the other team. It is not too late to go back to perform official duties after fulfilling the entire set of essential etiquette, which is the rule.

On the contrary, if you turn a blind eye and hear nothing, at worst, it means that the family education is not strict, there is no cultivation, and it is not polite, and at worst, it means that you look down on the other party, which is equivalent to a demonstration or even a provocation in disguise.

Just as Pierre and Sophie were rushing downstairs, the officers and soldiers of the city guard who were responsible for guarding the city gate had already begun to check the Ryder family and his party, and asked the members of the mercenary group at the front of the team, as well as the housekeeper who led the team, and other members of the Marquis's Mansion family according to the process.
